Former Governor of Edo State and the Immediate past National Chairman of All Progressive Congress, (APC), Adams Oshiomole described his support for Gov. Godwin Obaseki in 2016 as his greatest mistake ever.
Comrade Adams Oshiomole said this in his Iyamho residence Etsako West Local Government Area, where he addressed a crowd of supporters who visited his residence on Sunday, July 19, 2020 saying those that are against the progress of the party have been “smoked out”
He said Obaseki used every offensive means, unwarranted arrest and all other forms to destroy the party in the State.
“The Governor was demolishing the houses of our members while some were being jailed for trump up charges. These are the people who fought for him to become Governor.
“I begged those who were being persecuted to take it easy, that they shouldn’t burn the house we all labored to build because we want to smoke out the snake and now the snake has been smoked out of the house.
“Few weeks earlier, the snake said APC was his house and that he was not leaving but less than 72 hours after saying this he left.
“If we had burnt the house because the snake was giving us problem, we will all have been homeless by now.
“I have come home for only one project, I am not going back to Abuja until the project is completed,” Oshomole said.
